that's great Becca. I hope you guys hear something soon from them..

As for us, I am contemplating if I should apply for my mom's tourist visa so she could be here with us for my graduation from Nursing school, or just wait for my citizenship and not take the change of getting denied from USEM. So far we are leaning more to the latter. I will be submitting my N-400 application in August so I guess, I am not stressing so much with this ROC.

But I hope we get the approvals coming in! So far, we're hearing good news.

Do you really think your mom's tourist visa app will be helped if you are a citizen? We would like to get my hubby's family here for our 5 year anniversary party (so we've got a little under 2 years) but we're scared of losing the money in the visa app if they get denied.

My hopes are not too high for my mom to be approved on her tourist visa app, either I am a citizen of not. So we will just wait until I can file her I-130. I think that's the best way to do it.

And yes, I mind lossing $140 for her tourist visa app in USEM Manila.

Those of you who lurk around the other months' forums more than me...have there been any interviews lately?

I did see in the Sept filers bunch that there are some with NOA dates as late as 9?27 who have been approved...that gives me hope :)

Seems like CSC takes 5-8 months to process and VSC 8-12 months, gruuuu!

Yes, unfortunately!

Hi there,

We filed in October 2011 with VSC as well, with our first receipt notice on 10/12/2011, but we are also still in initial review. How and where do you find out who is being approved and on what applications they are working? It sounds like 10 days ago they were working on September applications. This seems to be taking forever.

Thanks.

OMG I can't believe it!! Another person was approved so we're at TWO Sept approvals :o Is this real life?! :lol:

We are holding up well. Still waiting to hear about a job offer for the job in NY for Phil. We're checking up with them next week since we need to give our landlord notice of our move by the end of July if we are moving.

It IS taking forever! <_< We are just following the other threads to find out where USCIS is in approvals. The September thread started moving with approvals from VSC so we knew what month they were in. You can also check their website here: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processingTimesDisplay.do but it's not too accurate as it says they're still in August and clearly they've moved onto September as well! Hopefully October will start seeing approvals in July, fingers crossed!

I am an October filer, too at VSC. I want to share my experience of traveling with expired GC and extension letter. I did once from Tokyo to Detroit in Jan, no problem either at Tokyo airport nor Detroit airport. However, this time I almost ran into trouble at Beijing airport. The customer officer could not recognize the extension letter, and said it's just a receipt. I almost got denied to leave Chinese custom. Managed through with help from Delta (on business travel). I would not recommend anyone who travel to China with extension letter. I will update my arrival at Seattle if anyone is interested.
